Harare: President Robert Mugabe must leave office on Sunday, the head of Zimbabwe's war veterans association said as pressure builds on the authoritarian leader to resign after a military takeover.

"The army must finish with him today. He'd better give in to them now," Chris Mutsvangwa told reporters ahead of a crunch meeting between Mugabe and the generals who took control of the country.
